Spellbound!

Spellbound! is a video game in the action genre developed by Scetlander Ltd. and published by Lander Software originally released in 1991. It is currently playable on DOS.

One of Scetlander's educational titles, 'Spellbound!' is quite unusual in that it is an educational shooter and not a puzzle or adventure game.

We play as Hal, who is Henrietta's American cousin (from 'Hooray for Henrietta' and 'Henrietta's Book of Spells'). Henrietta has asked us to help her take on Morgana the Morbid. That witch has given her magic wand to a twisted genius, Professor Grime - a typical mad scientist - who has hidden it in his locked safe with five padlocks. Consequently, we must find five keys in five levels: Underground, Submarine, Downtown, Alaska and Space Base.

The object of the game is to pilot (or swim) a helicopter (or a submarine, or a spaceship) through levels full of obstacles and Professor Grime's henchmen: they shoot at us and we shoot at them, and after dying they leave us each a letter that we have to collect in specific order to spell a certain word (which is shown as a task before starting a level). The game features good graphics and music, and even some voice-overs.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
